There is a company that makes an ecotec powered buggy (predator x-18....I think) and they have some kind of a sweet little belt drive setup that takes up almost no space. Has 2sp forward and reverse and makes it and auto with no clutch. Has outputs for 930 cv's. Has to be something similar to that, but I haven't been able to find anyone that sells something like that without the rest of the buggy. :roll:



The gearbox looks like the unit RPM ($2500.00) makes and is actualluy a foward-neutral-reverse 8:1 ratio. Its not a 2 speed. The CVT is very similar to whats used on Snowmobiles. I have a very similar setup on my Pilot project with the 126 HP Rotax twin. I am using the stock Pilot F-N-R gearbox shown below.

Thanks for the info. I have showed the pics of your rocket powered pilot to a bunch of people. I want to see that thing in action. I guess that belt drive wouldn't work for this buggy as he is running rear engine and they run sideways on predator buggy.
